Arduino a scuola di Makers

Arduino and the General Italian Consulate in Boston have stated the series of workshops for Italian language students in high schools in Massachusetts.

For this educational program, Arduino has developed the smaller version of the famous Arduino Starter Kit in Italian. The new kit includes the most popular projects and all necessary components to start with electronics. The purpose of this initiative is to help students to improve their Italian and to introduce and promote Italy as a country of innovations and technology. Being an Italian brand, Arduino started this project in collaboration with the Italian Consulate in Boston. The fist workshop took place in Winchester high school, the next one in Newton North High school with 3 lessons of 2 ours each. The first exercises, carried out with fun too, have stimulated their curiosity and will continue next week, with the participation of an MIT student, with subsequent exercises that require the use of programming with sketches of Arduino IDE. Students of the Newton High School are preparing for the AP Italian exam to be held in May 2017 and thanks to "Project Arduino" certainly will enrich their preparation. Arduino will continue promoting Italian language and strengthening the positive image of Italy among high school students and their parents.
